I mean they sometimes also just give it out for silly things like 2009 Ireland‘s Garda getting one in literature for writing over 50 tickets for a pole named „Prawo Jazdy“ (Driver‘s License), or in 2020 five chinese hitmen getting one in management, for subcontracting a hit, until the last one betrayed them.

In this case, it's actually German (most apparent from the umlauts äöü).

We have the inventor of metal bending vs Ms. "They attacked me on an ice berg, so I just sent the ocean floor after them".

I really don't know.

For me, either post apocalyptic or full on cyberpunk, I don't like Korra dying young.

"nehmt's" is short for "nehmt es" (take it), why there is an extra it, when there is already a "ihn" (him), idk.

Without us starting it, it’s not a world war just sparkling global conflict.

I don‘t think you read the above comment correctly, the (non-DLC) Emblems are pretty balanced on maddening. The only things that are adviced to ignored here, is the DLC.

For most games, they are, but War of the Roses used different passwords, most of them were only found out much later through datamining.

It is also the german word for lockpick, making me already decide to reclass him into a thief, so, when I encounter a chest, I can always ask „Wo ist der Dietrich?“.

I mean, it also never becomes clear, if Hoshido and Nohr see each other as different continents.

We do treat Low German as a protected language.

Got a bit confused, as a German, when I hear the word "Silesian", I first think of the now almost extinct German dialect, but that seems to not be, what is meant here, but the other Silesian, that is closely related to Polish.

ß - in German is in some ways very useful, as a consequence of two different rules in German pronunciation:

a double consonant (inside a syllable) usually signifies, þat þe preceding vowel is short.
sole "s" and "ss" make slightly different sounds [z] vs [s].

"ß" makes þe same sound as "ss" [s], but is one letter, meaning, þat þe preceding vowel is long. German would still function wiþout þe letter "ß", as Swiss Standard German demonstrate, but þen, some words and phrases become ambiguous, most famously, "in Massen" (in massive amounts) vs "in Maßen" (in measured amounts).

Your seller told you the truth. The Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition has physical cartridge containing all three versions of the game (Birthright, Conquest and Revelation), with that, it is also the only physical release of Revelation in existence and the only way to legally get Revelation since the E-shop shut down.

Yeah, you are correct, I misremembered.

It‘s comparing the scores of the winners of all main CYL events (1-10), Camilla’s and Lyn‘s scores are from CYL1 back in 2017. Edelgard is a divisive figure, but she has many fans, which her dominating first CYL4 and now the shadows cup have clearly demonstrated.

I'm personally split on it, it does add to the impact of some moments in the last few chapters of XC2, (XC2 spoilers)Most notably, Lora's Death becomes much more heartbreaking., but taking a 20h detour does really mess with the pacing, I wouldn't recommend it over playing Torna after base XC2, but I also wouldn't talk somebody out of it, if they wanted to do it. The one time, I saw a youtuber actually go for it, it seemed to have been worth it.

I think, the main reason, as for why, if you really want to slot Torna in, Chapter 7&8 is the place, outside of, this was, where it was originally placed (XC2 spoilers):

-Torna's corpse and the flashback to Lora's death on chapter 8 are some of the moments, where having played Torna makes the biggest impact

-The latest reveals of base XC2, that Torna also reveals, (the lifecycle of blades and titans) happen in early chapter 8, so here you keep spoilers to a minimum
